Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The film is predictable and its humor is tension free.
I say sometimes that scripts get rewritten too much. I don't know if this one got rewritten too much or not enough, but I wish they had given it another go and tried to strike a more consistent tone.
The timing of nearly every gag is just half a beat off, and that half-beat is a killer.
Let's just say that, on the charge of comedic intentions, the cinematic jury is still out.
